Reading the difference

Reading the difference

Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.

The Border vs Candy Jar Clusters

  • Both titles are built on the same format family: Cluster pays. Differences between them therefore come from tuning, not from structure.
  • They come from different studios — Nolimit City and Pragmatic Play — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
  • Published RTP: 96.17% against 96.08% — The Border is 0.09 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
  • Win caps differ by about 4.4×: 44,288× against 10,000×, with The Border higher. A cap is a rulebook ceiling, not an expectation.
  • Volatility cannot be compared: The Border does not publish a rating.

The Border vs Pearl Harbor

  • Both titles are built on the same format family: Cluster pays. Differences between them therefore come from tuning, not from structure.
  • Published RTP is effectively identical: 96.17% against 96.21%.
  • Both cap out at roughly the same place: 44,288× and 41,127×.
  • Volatility cannot be compared: The Border does not publish a rating.
  • Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Pearl Harbor returns more in theory over the long run, while The Border reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
